Bitcoin Dominance Trend FAQs

What does BTC Dominance (BTC.D) represent?

BTC Dominance measures Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market cap. A rising BTC.D usually means capital is flowing into Bitcoin, while a falling BTC.D suggests strength in altcoins.

How do the color shifts work?

If BTC.D is above the chosen moving average, the dominance line turns bullish (green). If below, it turns bearish (red).

Why are the levels 40%, 50%, and 65% important?

These levels represent historically significant thresholds where Bitcoin often shifts from dominance to weakness, influencing altcoin performance.

Can I change the symbol used for BTC.D?

Yes, the default is CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D, but you can modify it in the settings to test other dominance indices or assets.

How should I use this indicator in trading?

Use it as a market context tool. For example:

• If BTC.D is trending up → prefer Bitcoin over altcoins.

• If BTC.D is trending down → consider higher exposure to altcoins.

Always combine with price action, liquidity, and risk management.
